View Full Version : Daily Mail feature
My name is Angela Epstein and I write health features for the Daily Mail.
I have been asked by my health editor to write a feature about overcoming panic attacks and am looking to interview someone who has suffered with this condition but has now managed to control their attacks.
The interviewee would have to be named and photographed.
If anyone is interested please do contact me in the strictest confidence by emailing adepstein@aol.com
All that is required is a telephone interview detailing their experience of panic attacks. The aim of the piece is to help readers understand a condition which affects thousands of people yet can be so easily misdiagnosed by a GP.
Kind wishes
Angela Epstein

Quick update.
I did the interview on Friday and on Sunday the photographer came round to take the pictures. I even got my make-up done so it looked lovely.
Hopefully it will be in the paper next Tuesday (31st Jan) but I will post again when I know.
Nicola
Well done Nic. You are very brave. I look forward to seeing it.
Cheers,
Trev x :D

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

Thanks Nicola for being brave enough to be interviewed and making public what so many of us are suffering from. I am also a fellow sufferer of panic attacks while driving and feel such a fool about it because so far no-one has understood how I feel. It sounds so dramatic when you try to explain to someone how you feel and when I say I have to keep in the left hand lane my family think I have turned into a mad person who drives very slowly and carefully and won't overtake. It is so lovely to know I am not alone. Have developed a few of my own strategies which are basically mind tricks really but they help sometimes. As you say you feel such a success when you have completed a journey without panicking!
i've been looking on the daily mail website and can't find it!!
anyone see it? i dont really want to go out to the petrol station now!!

I hadn't realised it was in today's paper so went back out especially to get a paper. We usually have this at the clinic to do the puzzles but someone had gone off with the paper!
Great article Nic.

I would like to say ive suffered from panic attacks for 15 yrs, im doin really well now, but have been there with all the symptoms that are described in the daily irish mail article today, i just want to say if there is anyone out there thats feelin desperate and feel theres no light at the end of the tunnel firstly there is and secondly not sure how it works on this but if you have my email addy please feel free to mail me i would love to be help people who are goin through what ive gone through, but the first step has to be on a website like this knowing you are not on your own, you are not going mad and more importantly that panic attacks are not going to kill you ... i spent years convinced i had a heart problem and with every attack i thought my heart was going to give up. ive just read a wonderful article here on palpatations and its exactly how my heart used to go when i had an attack... liz
[Wow!] Well done Nic. Ive been buying the mail for a few weeks now waiting to find you in so was really pleased when i bought it today and opened it on my way to work and you were there. It was a lovely article and all i would like to say is you are INSPIRATIONAL. You deserve all the very best. Thanks for all your care and support on the website. I think you have earned a great big treat for yourself.
take care
bobsy
Smashing article about a smashing lady and you looked soooo lurverly!!!:D
Love Piglet xx

Article was also in the Scottish Daily Mail. I am amazed how you could continue to work while having this disorder. Well done to you. It did highlight the importance of having a great support partner - its just a pity that is not reality for us all. By the way, you looked fantastic in you photo.
